1920s, American National. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info master. Party. and the republic. And. The party was placed under the control of the financial oligarchy Morgan and the corporate plutocracy Rockefeller, respectively, at a time when the film industry was also beginning to emerge in the United States, and the two major conglomerates tried to control the eight major Hollywood studios in all aspects, and Warner and 20 Gyforss spent time and money to file lawsuits for this, but they all failed. At the same time, the two major consortia also justifiably expressed their concern for the Oscars through the White House as the general agent, and in the fourth Oscars, not only did they send conference fees, but also the vice president also came to the venue. Although this move was a self-inflicted act by the White House under the control of the consortium to satisfy its own selfishness, and the college did not necessarily appreciate it, it played a great role in strengthening the prestige of the college and establishing the prestige of the college.

Since then, there have been two more presidents who attended the Oscars in person, the 13th (19 Roosevelt and the 39th (1966 Ronald Reagan), but the president's presence was completely different from that of the vice president: Roosevelt's presence was to recognize Hollywood's special role in the anti-fascist war, while Reagan, who was once a star, came to visit old friends entirely.

In the long course of more than 60 years of development, the Oscars not only reflect the development process and achievements of American film art, but also have a non-negligible impact on film art in many countries around the world. Lin Mu openly challenged Oscar's authority on such occasions, and he undoubtedly pushed himself to the forefront of controversy in doing so.

Just when people were speculating about what kind of attitude the organizers would have, a turning point appeared on the Oscar jury, the chairman of the Oscar jury, Rogge, who was the first to stand up and applaud, and under his leadership, the other judges also stood up. The applause began as a sparse outcry, but then it turned into a wave that resounded throughout the audience. Lin Mu's acceptance speech received the most lasting applause in the entire award ceremony.

When the applause gradually subsided, Chairman Rogge picked up the microphone in his hand, and there was no part of the chairman's speech at the awards ceremony, but he felt that he should say a few words on behalf of the Oscars. "Thank you, Mr. Xylon, for your sincere and bold wonderful thanks, fortunately, we are also used to Mr. Xylonn's amazing performance, and here I have to talk about Mr. Xylon's award-winning work. I remember that since "Spring Apartment", in the era of color films, there have been few black and white films that have won so many awards at the Oscars. Does a movie have a value above the Oscars? My answer is yes, Schindler's List is no such film! ”

Congratulations! Xylonn, I think you can come up! "Chairman Rogge's improvisation: An episode in the whole award ceremony, at the award ceremony for the best original screenplay, the way the award presenter announced the results of the award was very interesting, he directly called out Lin Mu's name, and indirectly announced the final winner of the award.

"One person has won two screenwriting awards, and Xylon has set a new Oscar winning record for us, let's hear what Xylon will have to say on stage this time!" Host Whoopi Goldburg is a humorous black host, and her reminder of Lin Mu's "kindness" drew laughter from the audience.

"I was really surprised by this award!" Lin Mu's first sentence when he took the microphone reminded people of the scene when he first stepped on the Oscar podium and refused to accept the award, James Cameron frowned, this guy just challenged the authority of the Oscars, this time there won't be another rejection of the Oscars, right? If Lin Mu had this idea, then he would be crazy!

"But I am very grateful to the Oscar organizing committee for the affirmation of my commercial work!" Lin Mu is no longer the young and vigorous screenwriter he was back then, and as soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. "Although it is only me who has won this honor today, I think it is a recognition of the commercial film exhibition! The Oscars stand on the cusp of film pop art, and I am glad to see that the judges of the Oscar Organizing Committee have realized the huge potential of commercial films, and it is time to correct the name of commercial films! ”

This brief remark was not a statement that Lin Mu had thought of in advance, and he suddenly came up with this idea when he came to power, mainly because of James Cameron. Although James Cameron single-handedly created the myth of the world box office, he has not been left on the Oscar podium, which cannot but be said to be a pity. Although Lin Mu knew that two years later, James Cameron would sweep the Oscar commercial film exhibition with his outstanding performance in "Titanic", it has indeed reached a stage that should receive a higher level of attention, and the award of the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not a very critical signal!

There are already amazing words from the previous award, Lin Mu's testimonial this time was not so unexpected, but despite this, the audience still gave him warm applause without hesitation. Perhaps because of the previous limelight, the next best supporting actor and actress will be missing out on "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Schindler's List". It wasn't until Johnny Depp won the Best Actor crown for his portrayal of the classic pirate captain in "Pirates of the Caribbean" that the situation reversed, and the next Best Director and Best Picture were won by "Schindler's List".

As the previous two presenters had expected, Schindler's List ended up winning only six Oscars, but Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl won seven awards, which is a slight margin in terms of the number of awards. And Spielberg himself won three Oscars, becoming the person with the most Oscars this time. And the biggest winner of this Oscar is Paramount Pictures, which owns the rights to both films!

In addition, Lin Mu himself has also become a popular figure in the media coverage that focuses on the Oscars this time. The media with good things has sorted out the Oscar news in the past five years, and people are surprised to find that at each Oscar ceremony, Lin Mu seems to have enough reason to be the focus of media attention. From the arrogant rejection of the Oscars 3 years ago, to the bold declaration of love at the Oscars 2 years ago; From last year's "The Shawshank Redemption" became an immortal classic, to this year's "Braveheart" broke through again; And at this Oscars, first the shocking appearance of the "Galaxy Fleet" on the red carpet, and then the amazing words at the awards ceremony. Lin Mu has become the most concerned news figure in the media at the five consecutive Oscars.

Despite being in the limelight at the Oscars, Lin Mu still looks like he loves to ignore the media, and some interviews are all refused. Even so, around 13 Kenwhitt Avenue, there are still a lot of memories hanging out there every day.

But soon attention was drawn to a newly listed Internet company on Wall Street, whose stock rose 154% on the day it went public, while the historical Netscape only rose 1c2% on its first day of trading, compared to a few percent of other companies. The stock of this newly listed company attracted people from all walks of life to buy first, and the stock price rose wildly. Overnight, a young Chinese man went down in history and became a billionaire. This has undoubtedly once again set up an idol for the younger generation in the United States, a country that advocates individual success. It was Yang Zhiyuan and his company Yahooo who created this myth.

Yahoo doesn't have Microsoft's huge financial resources and the sophisticated experience and technical capital of Sunn. Even Netscape. Clark and Andison are a "dream combination". When he started his business, Clark also brought in $00,000. The two creators of Yahoo started almost from scratch. At the time, they were just two poor students. But the dream capital injection changed all that completely. In just over two years. Yahoo went from a little-known place

It has become the biggest dark horse in the Wall Street stock market. The company's assets have swelled

Yahoo Land has been preparing for the IPO since last year. Yahoo's turnover in 1995 was just $1.3 million. The actual loss was $630,000. Until the beginning of 1996. I made a measly $90,000. In order to promote its listing. The Dream Fund had to inject another $20 million into it for this purpose. For this. The trees are under a lot of pressure.

But the skyrocketing share price of Yahoo's IPO once again proves that the forest has a vision. On the first day of listing, the total price of Yahoo shares reached 5 yuan. Even Dream chose to sell Yahoo Land stock at this time. It will also make a profit of more than $300 million. But all the landers know it. Yahoo Land stock will continue to rise!

Yahoo Land has successfully created a whirlwind of entrepreneurship in the United States and even in Taiwan. College students no longer pursue a well-paid company or an MBA. Two or three of them are in their own group. Fight on the Internet. Like the Cowboys who pioneered the Wild West. Be duty-bound not to turn back. The Wall Street Journal wrote a commentary pointing out: "In the gold rush in the western part of the United States, it is important to determine whether the people in the gold rush are rich. But those companies that make rounds, pickaxes, jeans. All of them are really rich. Yahoo was one of the first companies to "make circles, pickaxes, and jeans" on the INTE Internet.

After fame. Yang Zhiyuan is not as low-key as Lin Mu, and now he is very willing to be interviewed by the media. But the journalists always felt that his experience was on a par with that of another guy who had to do with computers. Many people now like to call Yang Zhiyuan "Bill Gates second". Merely. Mr. Yang himself was reluctant to compare him to the billionaire young man who had interrupted his studies at Harvard University to found Microsoft. He said that he was "Yang Zhiyuan first".

"What a lonely little guy!" As the second largest shareholder of Dream, Buffett is also very concerned about Yahoo's listing, and he even flew to Los Angeles to discuss this issue with Lin Mu, but in front of Lin Mu, he made such an evaluation of Yang Zhiyuan, and he seemed to forget that the person sitting opposite him was even a few years younger than Yang Zhiyuan.

"Jerry (Yang Zhiyuan is full of love for his career!) Lin Mu said noncommittally.

"Xylon has a question in his mind, I know you are very bullish on Yahoo, but why don't you seem to want to hold this company for a long time?" After a comprehensive understanding of the cooperation process between Dream and Yahoo, Buffett felt that Lin Mu knew that the company would have a bright future at the beginning of Yahoo's establishment, but he wondered why Lin Mu did not invest directly in the company and become a major shareholder, but chose to cooperate with Yahoo in the form of venture capital.

"Dream is a venture capitalist, and we've been sticking to that principle since the company was founded. Although direct investment seems to be able to make more profits, it will also face a lot of problems, you become the de facto control of the company, so what incentive does the original founder of the company have to continue to do well in the company? This is not only a matter of management incentives, but also the key to a company's ability to maintain its vigorous vitality! I believe that people who choose to start their own business want to be their own boss, which is an important reason why they are willing to accept venture capital. They get the capital to exhibit, and we enjoy the high returns brought by the rapid growth of the enterprise, which is a win-win situation and actually complements each other. Lin Mu reiterated the concept of venture capital to Buffett.

"Anyone who doesn't know the history of computer exhibitions will know that the brain is certainly not what it is today from the beginning, or that there were no computers in this world in the first place, but people created computers. Therefore, the birth of computers is the result of human beings constantly challenging their own capabilities. If you look back carefully, a history of computer exhibitions is a history of intellectual competition. Computers are the arena of intelligence! This arena, just like in the arena of sports, is intertwined with the joy of success and the sadness of failure, with smug smiles and broken tears! There are no victorious generals, and there are no natural nobles. ”

"You mean the tiger is going to decline in the future you can expect?" Warren Buffett has already heard the sound of the woods.

"The theory of industrial society is that information creates wealth, and only industry creates wealth. Yahoo's high returns are 'redistributing' to the informants of wealth that should have belonged to industrialists. Building on such a framework of interests is very volatile, and Yahoo will soon attract strong opponents.

Lin Mu pointed out to Buffett the problems with Yahoo Show.

"You've told Jerry all this?" Warren Buffett asked worriedly.

"Yes!" Lin Mu had exchanged this topic with Yang Zhiyuan, but the helpless expression on his face had clearly told Buffett that Yang Zhiyuan did not adopt his suggestion. (To be continued.) )
